Carbon Fiber Anthracite vs Gloss Charcoal Metallic
Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026
Carbon Fiber Anthracite (#4D4C54) and Gloss Charcoal Metallic (#514A44) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Both films carry a metallic finish, so the choice is purely the colour. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.
See both on your own carCarbon Fiber Anthracite vs Gloss Charcoal Metallic: the differences.
The differences between Carbon Fiber Anthracite and Gloss Charcoal Metallic are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is not the finish: both are metallic films, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.
